In a tragic incident, a 30-year-old construction labourer, reportedly associated with Hindu Jagarana Vedike, was stabbed to death by a few men during Ganeshotsav festival at Puttur in Dakshina Kannada district on Tuesday evening allegedly over personal rivalry.

The accused are suspected to be persons with whom the deceased, Karthik Suvarna, ran a chit fund business.

Going by the reports, Karthik (the secretary of Hindu Jagaran Vedike), came to the venue around at around 11:30 PM to watch a ‘yakshagana’ performance, which was being staged after the immersion of the Ganesha idol. There he met Charanraj, Kiran and Preetesh with whom he ran his business.

In a sudden turn, a heated argument broke out among them following which Preetesh allegedly attacked Karthik with a sharp weapon on his chest.

Situation turned tense in the communally sensitive district after news of the murder spread like a wildfire.

Upon receiving the information about the incident, police rushed but the accused ran off the spot.

On the complaint of Keshav Suvarna, Karthik’s relative, police registered a case of murder and are on the lookout for the accused.
